Thanks!
I do have a few HTs but most of my roses are Floribundas or what they stick into the shrub rose catagory. Very few Austins here. I did try more than I have but got rid of most of them. Instead I have lots of J&P Floribundas and lots of Clements roses. Gosh, I just love Clements roses.
Have to spray here with systemic fungicide in the humid east coast or my roses would be a blackspot mess. Every two weeks starting from just after the leaves appear. I also feed them with Rose Tone and toss out Alfalfa pellets in the spring. That would be the only time I use the bagged fertilizer. Instead I use Neptunes Liquid Seaweed Fertilizer every two weeks until the spring flush starts. You can mix it with the fungicide when you are going to spray. After the spring flush I don't use the Neptunes as often and by end of August I don't use any fertilizer.
Thats it. Really they look so pretty in bloom because the roses are jammed really, really close together in clusters.
